Director's Message
Dear Colleagues,
My thanks to all the presenters on Friday. I think the new 7 min format worked tremendously well to showcase the outstanding work in our School, and the audience was the largest I seen at Founder’s Day. I reckon Sir Mark and all the founding members would been heartened to see what the School has become 70 years on. Thank you to everyone who worked to make the day a very memorable one and congratulations to all award winners. I look forward to having our 72nd event in the new Springbank Auditorium.
On Friday I may have jumped the gun a little on announcing Prof Dragomir Neshev’s election as Fellow to the Optical Society of America, but it’s now official! Well done, Dragomir, and very well deserved.
Danny Cocks (a Beer Club organiser) and Karen Nulty (HDR Admin) collected all the bottles for recycling to donate the refund to Batyr. This charity gives voice to the elephant in the room by smashing the stigma around mental health and creating positive behavioural change for young Australians now and in the future. Danny and Karen collected over 200 bottles and I am pleased to multiply the refunded amount by an order of magnitude. This is a very worthy cause and we will have another fundraiser for it in the near future.
All the best to all those students undertaking their final assessment for the year.
Have a good week,
Tim |
